The lead Donald Trump gained over Hillary Clinton after the
terror attack in Orlando was erased in a new poll that puts the
presumptive Democratic presidential nominee ahead by 13.3 points.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll released Friday showed that 46.6% of
likely American voters supported Clinton while 33.3% supported
Trump, the likely Republican nominee.

Another 20.1% said they would support neither candidate. The poll
was conducted this week.

Trump closed some of the gap between him and Clinton after the
Orlando attack earlier this month, cutting Clinton's lead to
9 points.

Trump's image as a strong leader who will fight terrorism
(he renewed his calls for a ban on Muslims entering the US, which
he says will help prevent future attacks) apparently resonated
with voters after a gunman entered a gay nightclub in
Orlando and killed 49 people on June 12. The gunman pledged
allegiance to the terror group ISIS during the attack.

But Trump seems to have lost his post-Orlando boost as his
campaign has suffered a turbulent week.

Meanwhile, Republican leaders, including House of Representatives
Speaker Paul Ryan and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, continued
to express reservations about their new standard-bearer, who has
angered some in the party with his fiery rhetoric.

Ryan and Walker both said over the past week that they felt
Republicans should follow their "conscience" when deciding to
support the party's likely nominee, instead of urging party
members to support him.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll only captured some of the voter reaction
to Britain's decision in Thursday's referendum to exit the
European Union, a move that some pundits say suggests Trump's
insurgent candidacy has tapped into a broad and powerful
antiglobalization wave sweeping Western countries.

The poll was conducted online and included interviews with 1,201
likely voters in all 50 states. It has a credibility interval, a
measure of accuracy, of 3.3 percentage points.
